Wear a Mask
Masks help prevent people from getting and spreading COVID-19.
The science is clear. There is no doubt that wearing a mask, hand washing, and social distancing reduce the spread of COVID-19 and saves lives.
Get a Vaccine
All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are highly effective at preventing infection and serious illness.
By getting vaccinated, you can help restore our economy, prevent more illnesses and deaths in America, and eliminate and eradicate COVID-19.
Social Distance
In general, the more closely you interact with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread.
We understand that you may be tired, but public health measures are not the enemy — they are the roadmap for a faster and more sustainable recovery.
Play it Safe, Gaston!
There are plenty of reasons to play it safe this season. Who are you playing it safe for? Family, friends, and local businesses need our help.
When planning to host a holiday celebration, you should assess current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, get tested.
You can wear a mask, wait 6 feet apart, and wash your hands often throughout the season to play it safe for businesses, family and friends. These simple, yet powerful actions can drastically slow and reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the flu.
